Insert two cents here:
I really like the Joss Stone disc and have been recommending it to all my
friends...they seem to like it too.
If you dig the Zero 7 album, check out Sia's "Colour The Small One." It's
her second solo effort and contains a lot of the same emotion and vibe that
she brings to her Zero 7 contributions. BTW: my WEA rep told me today that
they're pushing up the U.S. release date to March 4th.
Another great new jazzy 12" is the Doctor Abstract single and I'm pretty
hot on "Electrology" by Wise.
